EastEnders star Jake Wood leaves fans swooning over ripped body in topless selfie

EastEnders star Jake Wood left his fans swooning after he shared a topless selfie.

The actor, who plays Max Branning in the BBC soap, treated his fans to a sexy snap as he soaked up some sun in the back garden.

Leaning over to look right into the camera, Jake gave his best sultry look.

And his fans coudn't get enough.

"Happy Tuesday everyone Stay positive," Jake captioned the post.

The 47-year-old's fans left a string of thirsty comments.

"Cor....that cheered me up," one wrote.

While another posted: "Not a bad view"

A third branded him: "FIT"

However, some teased the red-haired star, telling him to be careful in the sun.

"Hope you have your cream on mate," one told him.

And another posted: "Jesus....get out the sun man....."

Jake, who shares two children with his wife Alison, said last year that his wild party days are over.

He told the Sunday Mirror: "There was a time when I was drinking but you have to find your way. I am not that sorted kind of guy. It is trial and error – and a LOT of error.

"I think you have to make mistakes to realise what you want and how you want to live your life. For me, not drinking is a big part of that.

"When you spend 24 hours on a television series, and someone is playing your wife and someone is playing your best mate and you are all going out, I have done all that.

"It is a really weird life. There is a bubble and I know it is great fun, but it is not real. And when it does end it is brutal."

Jake says it's his wife who grounded him.

He added: "I know I have a beautiful wife at home who is there all the time. She was there every week for me when I was on Strictly – and I have beautiful kids.

"I have got everything I need at home. I think you have to get a balance as it is such a crazy life."
